TechnicoFlor Group

In 1982, François-Patrick SABATER set up the first company of what was to become the TechnicoFlor Group. It grew fast in the field of the creation and manufacture of aromatic compounds for the fragrance industry. Further subsidiaries were set up to reinforce the group’s capacity and diversity into food flavorings, plant extracts and aromatic ingredients.
As the group grew internationally, it set up new subsidiaries, first on the US market, followed by China, our highest growth market at the present time, while not omitting the necessary investment in other high growth global markets like Indonesia.

Natflor®, NatFair® & Eco-label
keeping up with the times, handing down the planet safely to future generations
Since time immemorial, natural products have enhanced our well-being. Today, TechnicoFlor expresses its environmental values through its choice of raw materials, redirecting its ressources towards natural values.
-
Our perfume experts have thus developed three families of fragrances:
The Natflor line®

A global policy of fair trade sourcing.

A true soul given in our Natfair creations.
The Eco-Label line
Eco-Label compliance means using compounds developed from processes which limit the most hazardous substances to health and the environment, and which strictly prohibit the use of allergenic or similar compounds.
Our Eco-Label fragrances are original, attractive and sophisticated. They are used - among other - in detergents, cleaning products, shower gels, cosmetics and soaps, all developed by a concern for environmental protection.
Our creation process
Fragrances
Creating fragrances, is undoubtedly an art
The created artwork affects our lives as few others do: the evocative power of a perfume, its ability to touch and move us, is unrivalled.
Today, before producing unforgettable fragrances, the perfumer has to master the rigorous skills that have been developed and handed down from generation to generation, and which are the outcome of a long and technologically sophisticated tradition.
In response to the increasing global demand for "natural" products, so strongly felt in the fragrance field, TechnicoFlor has adopted a responsible and committed approach to environmental protection. A range of natural products has been specially developed as part of our portfollio.
